Chapter 40 Interesting facts
Following Li Lin's gaze, Feng Yingjie also saw the large pile of blue bricks, thought for a while and coughed lightly, and said: "The courtyard wall is a bit short, I want to raise the courtyard wall even though our house is in an alley The first household on the left side of the entrance, but there are neighbors on the east side, and the courtyard wall is higher for safety.”

"Okay, the blue bricks are used to raise the courtyard wall, what are those piles of bluestone slabs used for?"

Feng Yingjie followed Li Lin's gaze to look at the bluestone slab, and couldn't help but chuckled and said, "When my uncle built the house before, he built a kitchen or a bathroom for convenience! Then let's get married." It would be a bit inconvenient for me to live in later, so I thought about building another small room for taking a shower, and now this is for my aunt to use."

"Then where are you going to add this small room?" Li Lin looked around her yard. There were five main rooms, three rooms in the east wing, three rooms in the west wing, one for the kitchen, one for the shower and one for the shower. Put food and sundries in the room, where is Feng Yingjie planning to build this small room!
Feng Yingjie quietly glanced at the mother-in-law who was still busy in the kitchen, took Li Lin's hand and came to the windows of the two west rooms of the five main rooms. The space of [-] meters is to prevent the light from the bedroom window on the west side of the main house.

Li Lin looked at this open space and was silent. The rural homesteads on their side are all very large. They are basically large courtyard houses facing south. The five main rooms are about 30 meters long from east to west and five or six wide. The entire courtyard is about seventy meters from north to south, and there are three east and west wing rooms, which are about 20 meters long and seven or eight meters wide!
So Li Lin's main room and the east and west wing rooms are not connected together, the distance is only six or seven meters. It will block the light of the west bedroom in the main house.

Li Lin looked around and asked with some hesitation: "Will it not block the light? When my father built the house, he was worried that the east and west rooms would block the light, so he vacated about one room."

"No, I roughly measured it. The small house should be close to the courtyard wall on the west side. It should not be too big. It should be built on this open space, but it doesn't have to be so big. It should be about three meters wide, just enough to cover it. When it comes to the windows, it won’t block the light.”

Feng Yingjie's words made Li Lin subconsciously look at the bedroom windows. When the house was built, her father opened the windows in the five main rooms very large for the comfort and convenience of his daughter, unlike the houses in the country now. Those little windows.

Li Lin's bedroom is very large, nearly [-] square meters, more than ten meters long from east to west, and the window is nearly two meters wide. It is in the middle of the south wall, so the window is about three meters long near the courtyard wall. If Yingjie wanted to cover it like this, it would be fine, it would neither block the light nor appear obtrusive.

Looking at Li Lin, Feng Yingjie continued: "Linlin, when I went to school last winter, I went to the mountain with nothing to do, and saw that there were Xifu Begonias on the mountain. After everything was packed, I went to get it back. Just plant one here, okay?"

"Xifu crabapple?" Li Lin thought about the color of the Xifu crabapple on the mountain, and couldn't help but whispered: "Zhu Lan shines brightly on the yellow pond, and the fragrant trees are intertwined with pillows on the short wall. It conveys Dongjun's deep attitude, and Liang Chengxishu is a beautiful scenery. Broken red branches Powder is still applied on the top, and the lush green shade is swirling and fragrant. It should be the Ministry of Industry without Poetry and Complaints, and it has been used as makeup with dew."

Looking at Li Lin's expression, he knew that she liked it. Feng Yingjie couldn't help smiling and said, "Well, Guo Zhen and Guo Zhongwei's "The Flower Is the Most Blooming in the Forbidden Garden with the Privy Councilor Because of Watching Begonias" is Tang poetry and Song Ci, which was not very popular during the Renzong period of Song Dynasty. You know poetry, too."

"Well, the most important thing in my family is books. When I was a child, the most important thing to read was books!" Li Lin thought about the almost full of lonely calligraphy and painting books in the basement under her bedroom, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Feng Yingjie couldn't help but asked curiously in a low voice: "Linlin, you said that your grandfather who ran away early was a big capitalist. How could a big capitalist keep so many books at home?"

"This isn't the collection of my capitalist grandpa, it's my grandma's dowry, okay?" Li Lin looked at her mother, who was still busy in the kitchen, and said quietly, "My grandma is the one who came from a real scholarly background." The descendants of the aristocratic family used to be ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the Qing Dynasty."

"I heard from my grandma that my grandma is the eldest daughter of the family. It's just that my great-grandfather died young and there was no male in the family. My great-grandmother and my great-grandfather are deeply in love with each other. When entrusting my grandma to my natal sisters, it's me After being my grandma's aunt, she died for my great-grandfather!"

Seeing Feng Yingjie's shocked expression, Li Lin curled her lips and continued, "My grandma and my grandpa are cousins. They were childhood sweethearts. My grandma married with ten miles of red makeup and a million dowry. , It's a pity that my grandma and my great-grandmother miscalculated people's hearts."

"I heard that my grandma looks weak, but in fact she is soft and strong. The moment my grandpa took a concubine, my grandma sold everything that could be transferred from her dowry, and you too Knowing that at that time, people were in troubled times, and my grandma's body couldn't bear it any longer, so I had no choice but to entrust my mother to my grandma."

Li Lin thought of her grandma's seemingly straightforward but transparent temperament, and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly: "Because my grandma is my mother's nanny, my grandpa has always been used by my grandma, and my dad has also been arranged by my grandma." I trained it so that I can help my mother after my mother gets married."

"My grandma passed away due to illness. When she died, my mother was only six or seven years old. My grandma not only left a dowry of millions of family assets to my mother, but also left a lot of useful money for my mother. People, but no one expected that the troubled times would end so quickly, and my grandfather even abandoned my mother and ran away!"

Thinking of her insignificant grandpa, Li Lin shook her head and continued, "People leave for tea, my grandma passed away early, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the people my grandma left behind for my mother are almost gone. My grandma raised my mother since she was a child, and she and my grandfather couldn't bear it and couldn't bear to part with my mother."

"In the end, seeing that the current situation was not good, I discussed with my mother to take her back to my hometown in the countryside. My mother is so smart. My grandpa ran away, and she stayed there as a young lady in her teens. Isn't that true? A real target, anyway, it was finally discussed, concealing my mother's identity, and came back with my grandma as my father's betrothed fiancée!"

Hearing these words, Feng Yingjie couldn't help saying approvingly: "Grandpa and grandma are loyal, and uncle is also benevolent and righteous!"

Seeing that her mother was still in the kitchen, Li Lin approached Feng Yingjie and whispered, "My grandma said that my father is a wolf and has long coveted my mother. My grandpa said that my father wants to eat swan meat. It’s very beautiful, it’s said that my grandma agreed to it because my mother personally promised the marriage, I heard that my father has suffered a lot because of this, it’s all from my own parents!”
